Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office confirms that senior political adviser Ophir Falk will be part of a delegation to talks in Doha aimed at freeing hostages and halting fighting in Gaza.
Falk will attend the talks alongside Mossad chief David Barnea, Shin Bet head Ronen Bar and IDF Maj. Gen. (Res.) Nitzan Alon, the Prime Minister’s Office says in a statement.
News reports after Falk was dispatched to a round of negotiations in July described him as Netanyahu’s eyes and ears at the talks.
“Israel will send the negotiations team on the agreed upon date, that’s tomorrow August 15th, in order to finalize the details of the implementation of the framework agreement,” government spokesperson David Mencer says in a briefing.
According to the PMO, Netanyahu held three separate “in-depth” meetings over seven hours in Tel Aviv today to discuss the talks.
